The Fun Belt made an argument yesterday that it might very very be an emerging power conference. New member JMU has also had quite a start to the season. Louisiana spotted EMU 14 points yesterday and then outscored them 49-7 in the second half. Coastal has started 2-0 with a win over Army in werk one.
On the other had, the MAC looked pedestrian - with two losses to FCS programs.
Interestingly enough, CCU had one of the weaker results for the conference yesterday, even with its win. Gardner-Webb was hanging with Coastal right up until the end.
Sure. I’m not ragging on them. I was just saying going into the day, one would have figured CCU may have had the easiest game and they had to fight for a win while a lot of the conference was making a major statement.
